This bill amends the governance structure of the Delta Economic Research and Sustainability District by modifying the membership of its board of commissioners. The total number of board members is reduced from twenty-six to twenty-three. Notable changes include the deletion of the president of the Louisiana State University System from the board, while the president of Grambling State University is retained. Additionally, the bill introduces the executive director of the Louisiana State University Center for Energy Studies as a new ex officio nonvoting member.

Furthermore, the bill repeals certain provisions related to board membership, specifically R.S. 3:342(A)(2), (25), and (26), which are no longer deemed necessary. The Louisiana State Law Institute is tasked with alphabetizing and renumbering the definitions within the relevant statute to ensure clarity and consistency following these changes. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the board's composition and enhance its operational efficiency.
